Default Is there any way to print 4-up post cards using Mail Merge?

You should only insert the address block into the first postcard and then
use the Propogate Labels button to copy it to the other postcards. If you
insert the address block manually into the other postcards, you will most
probably over-write the { NEXT } field that is in each of those cells.
Without that field, the next record in the data source will not be called
for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th labels.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.

You are correct about the postcard type.

I must not understand the "Propagate Labels" button's usage. I can insert
an
address block into each of the 4 postcard fields on a sheet. However, when
the merge is completed, the same name/address appears in each card on the
sheet, rather than a different name on each card. Word doesn't seem to
recognize that each card should be separate. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mike

separating the
cards and printing them individually.


Thank you! I'll give this a shot tomorrow! I appreciate your response!
